Your First Big Win Might Be Your Biggest Trap.

[Bright0515]

No doubt there are some kind of wins that you will experience now that will make you so much confident in yourself feeling you can actually win more or maybe feeling that you have understood the game but that's a total big fat lie and this much confident makes you so certain that you even start to up your stakes just for the purpose of getting better profits in return but at the end regret might be the end of everything.

I'm gamble some wins are just like a trap, why it seems so is because a gambler or someone that might not have seen a huge amount of money might be lucky to win, then all of a sudden they start gambling aggressively by increasing their staked amount. The obvious is that they will definitely lose all the money they won and they will also lose their initial money. They will become addicted if they don't realize their errors on time and take caution and start gambling responsibly.

Well, you are right. Here, everyone talks about losses and the addiction of chasing and warns each other to take care of it, but no one highlights the danger in the first win, where you will either go down a good and smooth gambling path or chase the losses due to the feeling and belief that you get from your first win. Losses will not stop you, as you have already proven to yourself that a big win is possible. In my view, this mindset is more dangerous than that of someone who lost at first and walked away from gambling. So, yeah, your first bet sets the trajectory for your upcoming gambling activities. If you lose and walk away, you will be safe, if you win and have no emotional control, then the destruction of your finances is waiting ahead.

Someone like me will not win a bet in gambling after being rendered a jackpot opportunity and still continue to gamble without planning well for myself, this is more of how I could utilize the fund before losing them back to gambling over time if care is not taken, that we win Big in gambling does not mean that we should be consistent about making more attempt to have repeated opportunity except by luck.

[Zlantann]

So moral of the story . First win is not always a blessing. Sometimes it is the starting point of a long chase.

What u think . Do you believe early wins help people  or do they quietly trap them?

Have you tried weed ? Never mind, I am just joking.

There is a high chance that those who had won the first time they tried gambling will return. But as they keep player experince will teach them that this is not the case. Should I say that I was unfortunate or fortunate to lose my first game? And sincerely, it shaped my gambling view. I knew immediately that gambling is not a win-win activity.

The first win could be a motivation to enjoy gambling, but it becomes a cause if it leads to gambling addiction.

[Odusko]

Winning for me have to do with my luck on the particular casino sometime I get lucky to win my very first game on a new casino, but I will not take that as a pointer that gambling is always a win win situation, so regardless if I win or lose in the first game, I still have the understanding of gambling within the limits that won't negatively affect my bankroll.

Only if they are here for the wrong reasons, mindset is what matters here, not just the big win. Of course, people will get greedy when they got the big win in their initial stage itself, while they will go into a phase that we can make easy money in gambling so they might get the temptation to gamble more just to change their fate.

[Shadiq]

The biggest trap is to enter into gambling for the purpose of making money or without having any discretionary money. We don't need to look for any other trap. Gambling addiction is something where entering into gambling was the big trap for you. If you can gamble within your own discretion by creating a regular budget, then that may be okay for you. Whenever you cross that line of discretion, then all gambling activities become a trap for you. Big wins, losses, chasing losses and chasing wins are all traps.

[Chinesebaby]

That first experience shapes everything.

Gambling works in a same way. If your first experience is a big win it can pull you deeper. If it was a bad loss maybe you would have stopped early.

This is where responsible gambling comes into play, because despite the fact that having a big win on your first game or day gambling on a particular casino is likely to trigger you into wanting to frequently visit the casino more often. With self discipline and knowing the fact that winning on casinos are usually a product of random algorithm, a gambler with such mentality can never be trapped. Which is why before heading into a casino, it's always wise to have your gambling plans, targets and strategy before heading into a casino to gamble, which includes how much you are willing to gamble, having at the back of your mind not to chase loses even if you loses everything and e.t.c. As these plans will help shape your decision while gambling.

When someone tries Weed for the first time the experience can go both ways i mean 50 50 chances of smoking again . Because some peoples feel relaxed and happy and they keep going back to it. While others feel fear or discomfort sometimes increased blood pressure and heart rate maybe even anxiety and they never touch it again.

That first experience shapes everything.

I agree with this somehow. I tried weed once and for some reason, I didn't like it at all. It gave me a headache and made me quite stupid for a while. Ever since then, I haven't felt any urge to smoke weed again. It wasn't my thing I guess. I had friend who smoked weed every day. They must have found something nice in that thing. For me, it was just a bad habit.

Gambling is indeed similar. People who think they can get rich from gambling, they can't shake that idea off from their heads somehow. If they won a few rounds, it becomes even worse for them. Whenever they lose a bet, they think it is temporary.

[Hewlet]

Let me Explain . When someone wins big early it creates a strong belief in their mind. They start thinking i can do this again because it feels easy and  real. That moment stays with them. And after that every time they play they are not just playing the game  they are chasing that first feeling again and again . Even when they lose they does not see it as a warning. They see it as I just need one more good run.

Obviously, there's an amount you will win in gambling even if it's not at the early phase of your gambling and every time you place your bet you start to feel that you have what it takes to win back such an amount. You just see possibility based on your past outcome and that in itself is a serious trap that has caged most gamblers into the believe that the next bet will be the decider that they've been waiting for.

But then, your past outcome in gambling does not always guarrantee your future outcome and so, it's better to make your prediction based on what I can look to be your current reality rather than being too focused on past events alone.

[EluguHcman]

That first experience shapes everything.

Yes I can imagine how manipulative a first time huge winning experience can really be convincing to trap players who out of their uncomfortable excitements falls victim to addiction or even loosing all the jackpot prize they won back to the site due to greedy expectations that they might hit more jackpots.

Those who had been conscious of this kind of risks or decisions of chasing more wins with eagerness will understand better and those who had also acquired experience and become wise won't let to be thought such hard lesson twice before underlining it that first big wins can be dangerous.

In almost everything, our first time has an impact on our experience, and more so on gambling. If we've been told that we could lose money in gambling and it did not happen in our first try, instead, it's the opposite, we tend to ignore what has been said to us and consider our good experience.
Yes its risky, and if you keep holding that gambling is easy, you are going to lose a lot until you change your mindset. I'm glad this is not my experience.

The disposition that gambling is a simple means of earning money is the onset of suffering, long-term devastation. You have shown the suitable maturity that the good results in the early days is only a mere coincidence in statistics but not a sign of the real potential. And be ever constant to this rationality as the best way to keep self out of the ruinous urge of impulse. Give yourself the concentration on physical successes.

I think the topic says it all, this is exactly how most persons started getting too serious with gamble. If they had manage to get the beginners luck on their first game it would be very easy for such persons to be convinced that gamble can actually pay their bills and the most dangerous part is how easily they where able to make money without stress, that single act alone can be registered in their minds and would act superior to everyone other know that says otherwise like quitting after several loses. It would take a lot of convincing before anyone with such experience can make a change of though and action.

You should count yourself lucky that you are not the type of gambler who continues to gamble after a big win. Many gamblers who have had a big win from gambling often become more inclined to gamble, aiming for more money which they have failed to accomplish, losing more than they bargained for. Some end up becoming miserable as a result of that

This highly depends on the characteristics of a person.  If he is greedy, naive, and short-sighted, the early big win can really is the biggest trap for him.  But if the person has discipline, remains calm, and thinks things thoroughly, even if he gets a huge win on his first try, he will always consider the pros and cons of his action.  This big win won't trap him; instead, it can be a tool to make him more careful in future engagements, so as not to waste the big win he got on his first try.

I can't help but agree with you completely because I used my own very self as a good example, the reason why I am not very serious with gambling is because  how often I've lost money to gambling have planted a believe inside of me, and that believe is that luck isn't always close to me or anywhere around me when ever what I am doing and trying to make money from has anything to do with gambling, this believe is the only reason why I don't take gambling serious, Infact, I don't regard gambling at all and the only reason I've continued to gamble from time to time is simply to keep or stay up to date with all the happenings in the gambling industry..

So indeed, loses from gambling actually does have a way it discourages people from gambling cus no body wants to continously lose money when money is not easy to make, but the gambler who have had a major win from gambling, and a couple of times for some, it's hard for people in this category to leave gambling alone, not when they've tasted a good win and know what it often feels like.

[macson]

A big win can become a trap if a gambler loses control, leading them to gamble excessively, believing they can win even more if they gamble more money. This feeling after a big win can lead gamblers to become carried away, unaware that they're gambling more aggressively, and depleting their entire bankroll. Depending on the gambler, some immediately realize they're doing it wrong, while others become carried away and continue chasing that big win, ultimately resulting in significant losses.

This reminds me of something similar.

Sounds like someone has some experience.  jk.

It mostly depends on what you are trying to achieve from gambling, but yes, there is no doubt that when you start doing something, whether it's gambling or anything, if you see some progress initially, that will boost your confidence, and you will start feeling like you can conquer and keep winning. This is a good thing in general when you are doing something else, something which is productive and useful, but when it comes to things like gambling, it can be a trap, because it is technically and logically impossible for someone to keep winning all the time in gambling.

The reason why I said it can depend on what someone is trying to achieve from gambling is because if you are gambling only for fun and entertainment, which so many people do, a win won't look like a trap, but it will only be a reason for a joyful moment, and you might even stop gambling for the time being after that and enjoy yourself with the winning amount.

Winning big is the desire of every gambler weather it is won early or not. While winning early can be a trap for some gamblers, I still believe some early winners can still take good advantage of early winning.
Responsible gambling is very necessary, as a responsible gambler, you will not always gamble with the money you can't afford to loose. When you win big, don't be confused, don't see gambling as an asset where you can make money on the long run. Gambling is a game where you cannot determine or guarantee the outcome, and therefore requires absolute carefulness.

Gamblers should be taught how to manage there wins, weather early or not. Educating gamblers on how to manage their wins will save them from misusing their wins, more especially when it is big.
